GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

When I to Northwest community high school for 4 years I had the best time, because the teachers help me with anything and everything and their goal was to help their students graduate and go to college and do something that they love to do. They are the best teachers that I had and felt loved.

After moving to Indy from the South I thought that my child would be treated better in school compared to where we came from. We dealt with racial inequality frequently down South. However, here at NW the mistreatment is on a whole 'nother level. All the children are treated as if they are in prison...

I do NOT recommend this school to anyone. Teachers "expect" the students to follow the rules yet teachers do as they please. Some students get diciplined some don't. Some students dont do anything wrong yet get expelled or suspended. I did not want to believe all the bad things I was told about this...
